In groups of 4 or less, figure out which substance was on which person by following the directions below. A completed project will have a fully filled out Suspect Chart, stapled to all the groups math work and a half page story.
You should divide up the problems so each person does at least 2 or 3. You can collaborate on the story (there is no right answer) or you can assign it to one person.
Write a story about why the plane crashed, who cause it to happen, and who was dead on the plane before it crashed.

3) Take your samples and calculate the empirical formula by filling out the form below. (must be turned in with all work) See Sample below it.
For example, when the %C=67.31, %H=7, %N=4.62, and %O=21.1, do the following:
4) Determine the Empirical Forumula by using the answers from the math. In the example above, the formula would be C17H21NO4. Fill in the suspect chart with this information

7) Write a 1/2 page story which includes: (btw, there is no wrong answer)
Why the plane crashed
Who was dead on the plane before it crashed
For extra credit - Draw a picture that shows what happened, and color it.
8) A complete project will include the following stapled together and turned in:
A fully filled out suspect chart with everyones name on it
The math work that shows each person contributed at least two problems with only the name of the person who did the work on it
